Good to see you on here Just wondered if you're having too much oatbran? Attack I think is 1.5T a day and Cruise is 2T. If you feel like you're not losing quickly enough, try limit the dairy and cut out the ham. Dr Dukan does say limit dairy to 1kg a day. Good luck for the rest of your Attack! (How many days are you doing?)

I think I am sticking to the 1.5T of oat bran a day. on my first day I had 2 teaspoons twice. I think 1.5T is like 4 teaspoons. hopefully I got it right.

I am trying to eat more meat and eggs from now on instead of dairy as maybe I am eating too much. I don't know. I bought a load of meat and eggs yesterday so will cook them up today.

Thanks Pogmama, I will cut out the ham if the weight loss drops off, it is so yummy though ill keep it if I can. I also got a lean gammon joint, not sure if I can eat that though. may stick it in the freezer.

From the dukan website it says do attack for 6 days, today is day 3 so am nearly half way through.
Got the weight loss for life(or something like that) from the library so am reading that through.

I thought I would be missing veg and fruit big style by now as I usually eat a lot of them, but I am not at all, I think I could live on greek yog.

I have got some 5% fat pork mince, but in my dukan book it says no pork except ham. I don't get it as you can have up to 10% fat beef. I might eat it as I am getting sick of chicken, chicken and more chicken. lol

Oh yay first day of spring, looking forward to the better weather so can go walking more.

Also he does advise (somewhere or other) to have your oatbran in one go... There are some fabulous recipes for the oatbran too, whereas you probably barely notice it spooned in a yoghurt in such tiny quantities. We make muffins, cakes, galettes, bread with ours!

Yes you'll need to vary a bit before you get very bored with it, which can be fatal of course when temptation is around... not sleeping well initially is something I have always suffered from, but few others mention it so I've tried not to dwell. I'm not sure if it's the extra protein but I always sleep far less on this diet so my days are longer!! Excellent stuff!
